quick and uncomplicated, makes 3 pieces

The yeast is stirred into the flour. Then a well is made in the flour. Mix in the remaining ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms. I don’t use an electric mixer; I do it all by hand. Once everything is well kneaded, the dough needs to rest and rise for 20 minutes. I always place the dough in the oven, which is just under 50 degrees Celsius, and cover it with a damp cotton cloth. After it has risen, don’t work the dough much anymore. Just cut it into three roughly equal pieces and shape it into baguettes. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and then bake the loaves for 12 minutes. Depending on the oven, the baking time varies between 10 and 20 minutes. You can check whether the baguette is done by tapping it: if the loaf sounds hollow, it is fully baked.
